Josh and Anna Duggar Expecting a Baby Boy

Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar have revealed that they will be welcoming a grandson in June, after announcing that Josh and Anna Duggar's third child is a boy. (If you're unfamiliar with the show, Josh is the oldest of Jim Bob and Michelle's offspring.)

"We are so thrilled. It's a little boy, so they'll have two boys and one girl," Michelle told Today.

Josh and Anna Duggar, who married in 2008, have a 3-year-old daughter, Mackynzie Renee, and a 1-year-old son, Michael James. The couple have told E! News in the past that they're not sure if they'll follow in Jim Bob and Michelle's footsteps by having 19 children, but they're not ruling it out either—just leaving it up to God.

"It's really not about the number of children you have," Josh told us, "but how well are you doing with the children that God has given you. We're really just going to take it one at a time. I don't think you can say we're going to set out and say we're going to have five kids or four or three. We have no control over that. God has the control.

"Obviously, we can do things to prevent that, but I'm glad my parents didn't just settle to have three or four children. There are definitely a lot of advantages to trusting [in God]. Anna's glad that her parents didn't stop at four, because she was number five."
